Low lying levels in Th228

Journal Article · · Nuclear Physics
The decay scheme Ac228 yields Th 238 has been reinvestigated. The observation of new conversion lines and coincidence relations establish a revised decay scheme. An analysis of the level scheme in the light of the unified model classifies the levels as members of two rotational bands above the ground state band. Two states of energies 328 and 396 kev with K = 0 and I = 1- and 3- are interpreted as an octupole vibrational land, and states at 966 and 1018 kev with K = 2 and 1 = 2+ and 3+ as a gamma -vibrational band. The presence of a second octupole vibrational band with K = 2 and I = 2-, 3-,... is suggested. The close similarity with the level schemes of other strongly deformed nuclei in the actinide as well as in the lauthanide regions is emphasized.
